Well... when you come up with the link then perhaps we can figure out what
exactly provides the prefix [moderated] tag.
As Harold Fuchs confirmed earlier in this thread, it used to be at
http://www.openoffice.org/contact.html . The version of this page from 8
February 2008 (the most recent available) at the Wayback Machine
(web.archive.org) contains two relevant hyperlinks. One reads
mailto:[email protected]?subject=[moderated] YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY
HERE
and the other just
mailto:[email protected]?subject=[moderated]
But that page has (recently?) been changed and the [moderated] tag is not
there any more. (The most recent message I can find with that tag is
message 195278 from "Patsy" on 11 May 2009.)
However, this would suggest to me that subject prefixes *can* be added by
the list administrator:
Oh, I'm quite sure they can. I never doubted it. Indeed, one already is:
the current added tag is "[users]". But what is not clear (to me, at least)
is whether the tag can be conditional - depending on the author's
subscription status. Perhaps the hyperlinks above were created the way they
were precisely because it wasn't possible for the list processor to do it.
A quick web search shows me that the
ezmlm-make -f
command creates a new mailing list with a subject prefix consisting of the
list name. Alternatively, the text of the prefix can be placed in
DIR/prefix. But I see no mention of how this could be made conditional.

The list is managed using a program called "ezmlm" (I think "easy mail
list manager" [Americans pronounce the name of the letter Z "zee",
hence "ee-zee"]). The manual for this program is at
<http://www.ezmlm.org/manual/>. I haven't read the whole thing but I
have read the section on "Message Moderation" and there does *not*
seem to be any facility for the moderator to alter the subject or any
of the address lists (To:, cc:, bcc:) of the message being moderated.
It appears that the moderator can only accept, reject or ignore
messages. Ignored messages are automatically rejected after 5 days.
While we allow unsubscribed posters it seems we will have to live with
the consequences.
As Paul said, the *moderator* does not have the capability. But that
header line is getting added somewhere....
